Lol his disposals numbers and the amount of goals kicked at VFL level is identical to Josh Schache's year in his 2022 VFL season.

Having watched enough VFL of Brisbane this year and some of his previous AFL games it's no wonder Brisbane fans are happy to show pack his bags for him.

 

No one’s ever said Schache isn’t a good VFL footballer tho! He just lacks the contested ability and athleticism to bring it to AFL level.

I’m not expecting much from Fullarton but he’s younger, been in the afl/elite junior system far less than Schache and a better athlete. It makes sense that he has more improvement in him.

The last time I saw Fullarton play was the semi final against us last year and I thought for a young ruck/forward he had some promise with more development. Not saying there’s a huge chance he becomes a player but I’m willing to at least see how he goes given it’s been a year (and another preseason with us) since he last played.

He'll surprise. Never underestimate the lure of wanting to prove others wrong. On that basis alone, I'm happy to back the kid in.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,630]

Hopefully he’ll be a Luke Jackson brand at a KMart price.

With the extra size up forward on our list, is it Tmac who plays back in Casey or Schache? Or both?

…. or maybe neither?

I wish the reserves grade had survived so we could play people in position. Are teams allowed to send a player anywhere under Casey to get more minutes? Can’t see how we get appropriate match time into Verrall and Farris white if fullarton plays for Casey and needs his minutes too.

Oh  i'm sure our forward line coach will teach him well, have we got one yet?

Good question.  I seem to remember one of our listed rookie rucks played amateurs or local for a while a few years back as there was a glut at Casey.  Casey guys could probably help more with this question. 

[Redleg 38,515]

This guy is a cheap option who can play key forward and score and assist in the ruck. That’s what we were seeking.

Good luck Tom.

From the start of trade period. Tim Lamb showing good restraint with a reporter asking him why they think Fullarton will be different than Grundy. Around 7min mark. Other random tid bits in the video that are old news now and prior to most of the club meetings.

Yes, Farris White played for another team a number of times (can't remember who). So did Bradtke

Geez, what a warm welcome. 

 

Classic Demonland

 

Fullarton has had a sniff in a tight, talented forward line at AFL level - and has gone on to hone his skills to learn more about the AFL level, one level down. With the right development, opportunities may well rise given our dire need for more tall forwards. This may well be his big break - I would expect him to think so and thus, bite the bullet wholeheartedly. Ya never know if ya don't get a go and ya never know if ya don't have a go. The boys have just got to work him into the lattice that is the MFC.

MFC needs to lift its game. It now seems the preferred strategy is to get two sons per father.

About time Casey gets a decent ruckman.  Its cost them 1 or 2 premierships.

I heard Scott Pendlebury had a basketball background.

If I hear that again I'm applying to join the bloody Harlem Globetrotters. Scott is undoubtedly the second best known basketballer in Australia.

I was wondering who it was and thought I would have to wait for BT to remind me.

Unlike Grundy, the lad can take a mark or two or three...

Melbourne's media department is seriously amateur. 

They posted an Instagram story of a screenshot of their browser... without cropping out the browser.

You in comms, Praha?
